The marked decrease in the number of arrests and the general diminishing of crime throughout the entire state seems to point with a strong argument to the fact which is sometimes doubted, that prohibition does sometimes pro hibit. The year |iist passed was perhaps the hardest the law has ever been called on to handle and the showing made is remarkable when these facts are considered.

Now that the world is gaining bo much loss in coaequence of the liquor trnflic-and our county ia being aroused on the auhject, 1 wish to give a few facts that came under my observation a few years ago. I lived in a county that had been dominated by the liquor tra(lie. They had usually three months of schools during the year. For these schools the teachers were paid from .flT.iiO to $27.CO per month according to grade, and school warrants were cashed at a discount of 25 per ceait. The school board was 12.500 iu debt and therfl were very few, I think only three or four, respectable school houses in the county. ^ The county was $5,000 in debt, and county warrants went at a discount of 25 to 40 per cent. There were only a few bridges in the county. The jail house would have made an interesting curio for the World’s Museum. The couit house sold at public auction for $60.00 and was moved off the county square. There were practically no public im provements. The county bad tried liquor for more than forty 5 ears. The terms of court lasted as long as the law would allow, one and two weeks respectively and I have known as many as twelve prisoners carried over from one term of next term at a month board each The dockets were never clear ed. Ami there was not a bank in the county. But we put liquor i out notwithstanding the erv “it i Go to Terry & Shaffer’s and a<k to see the handsome dining table The 1'res.s and Saandard is giving away. * — • Read The Press and Standard’s Great Gift Contest ad on another page and you certainlv will enter times the law does prohibit and thi^i t h 0 contest. It is free to all big, is beyond doubt the case in the city , little, old and young share alike in of Atlanta. They had $5,000 to their credit, and county warrants were worth 100 cents on the dollar. The school hoard bad built good school houses all over the county; they had increased the term’of school from JltoC months 4 witii privilege to run 8 months. They paid from. $iM) to $75 per month for teachers. School- scrip was worth 100 cts on the dollar. The school board had about $2,5t0 ahead, and when I left them they were talking of putting free books in the public schools. There was a bank in the coun ty with $60,000.00 capital stock, with $80,000.00 on deposit, and some of the county officers told me that taxable property had doubled in the county within the four years of prohibition. The drunken men, the ffst-ti- enff botus, the shooting affrays, the pandemonium caused gener ally by liquor, was not seen on the streets nor in the back store lots, and prohibition there did prohibit. It will always prohib it when the officers of the law do their duty. If l was an officer sworn to enforce the law, I should consider it as a personal insult for a man to say a prohibitory law did not prohibit in my juris diction. Now as to the revenue from liquor investigation shows again and again that every dollar of revenue a city or a county gets from the sale of liquor costs the city or the county that got it three dollars in criminal prose cutions, besides the wrecked will kill the county”. We knew j homes, the shed blood, the heart- the county was already dead and «^‘hes, the pains and pangs, and But it is not necessary to go to Atlanta for police court figures to urge prohibition. In Anderson, < i reen- ville, Spartanburg or any of the oth er cities in South Carolina that have tried prohibition, the improvement has been just as marked as in At lanta. Prohibition improves conditions, moially, socially, economically and every other way. „ It has been bene ficial to a large part of the state, and it will be equally beneficial when ap plied to all the state.—Anderson Daily Mail.

They had a brick jack house with steel cells. the scalding tear^of widows and hungry orphan crying for bread, impoverished by drunken hus bands and fathers.
